This is "issue" is as much about Al Sharpton as it is about Imus--

Imus dismissal, lacking any actual policy, principle, or legal underpinning, is, most likely rooted more in of fear of what Sharpton can do when he taps into "black anger"--Based on what he has done. it isn't an unreasonable fear--He didn't exactly pour oil on the water during the Crown Heights Riots, when he led marches, shouting,"No Justice--No Peace!!!!"--
